Cooking lessons

It is important to me that the kids learn life skills before they leave home. Every week each child is responsible for helping to make dinner (or another meal) with me. This way they are learning cooking skills as well as building a personal cookbook for each of them. 

 Ruth loves to make dumpling soup. She is so happy to help cook, and can do a lot of it on her own.

Joseph made pizza for the first time and got lots of flour all over. I asked him how he could clean it up. "The vacuum!" He thought it was great to vacuum the counter.
